Wanni District TNA MP Sivanathan Kishore who abstained from voting during the vote on the extension of the Emergency in Parliament recently told the Sunday Observer that he and certain other TNA parliamentarians would be meeting President Mahinda Rajapaksa shortly to pledge their support and cooperation to the Government s rehabilitation and resettlement programs for over 250,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
Asked to comment on Kumaran Pathmanathan s proclamation in the pro-LTTE TamilNet website of a provisional transnational government , he said it was absurd and shameful for them to make such announcements after causing destruction of life and property for so long and ultimately leading the Tamil people to their present plight. |
